PSA! DeoVR Brightness Bug
Added 2024-06-27 10:33:00 +0000 UTCHello VR Enjoyers! Just thought I should mention that I've found out that in the last month DeoVR released an update which introduced a bug causing VR images to look much darker and lower quality in their app. Videos appear fine, but images are currently suffering from this issue.
This is unfortunate because when I'm testing out my scenes I use VR images to check if things like lighting and scaling seem correct before I start a 3 day long rendering process for an animation π₯² For example, while unaware of this bug when I tested out some Vengeance Mercy images I noticed how dark things were, assumed it was an issue with the scene, so then brightened the scene up before testing again and then rendering the animation. This is why the VR version of Vengeance Mercy looks quite a bit brighter than the flat animation.
Luckily I found out about this bug while Talon Tracer is still rendering (about 35 hours of rendering left to go!), so I'll be able to adjust the brightness of the final video accordingly, and from now on I'll be sure to test in both DeoVR and in HereSphere. Just wanted to make this post as I'm sure a lot of you likely use DeoVR! So if you've felt things have been looking either too dark or too bright lately that'll be why. Hopefully they fix this bug soon.
